"I'm one of those people, also, that thinks that tough primaries make good general election candidacies.

I don't really agree with clearing the field.

I think if the Republican primary is a long-waged battle between Speaker Gingrich and Mitt Romney, it actually means the Republican candidate will be stronger, because the country will talk about Republican issues -- especially fiscal conservatism -- for many more months than would otherwise happen."

That's a strange sentiment to express on Fox News the same day he endorses Romney.
